VERY nice Shane, thanks a bunch! I'm sure a lot of work went into this already, but one request: When multiple abrasives such as Rubin, Granat, Brilliant, and Cristal all show up, say for the ETS 150 for sanding bare wood, could you have some sort of "1st choice, 2nd choice, etc."?

Is there a significant difference in results or paper life between Granat and Rubin for prepping bare wood for staining and/or finishing? In my one use of the 125 I thought the results were great with the Granat I bought as a set with the sander.

No, for bare wood, the results and paper life will be very similar. You will save slightly on price with Rubin.

I just received my RO90. It is advertised to come with an abrasive 'sample pack' but I only see 2 pieces, both the blue, course grit, one for the delta, one for the round. What is supposed to be in that pack, and are the sheets just tossed in the systainer, not wrapped in a bag or anything?

All the product images indicate 6 pieces, 1 blue and 2 white for both round and delta.If what I got was correct, why bother?

While we're on the subject, it would be nice if Festool offered an abrasive progression pack, maybe 7 sheets each of 60, 100, 150, 220, 320, 500, and 1k. That's one piece less than your 50 sheet packs, but far more useful for someone who doesn't have a floor to sand (in my opinion).

If you need a small assortment of abrasives for the RO90 or any sander, Tom Bellemare at Tool Home will gladly make one up for you in the quantities you need for each grit. He helped me with my RO90 and other sanders I have. In fact, as soon as I recover from this Recon sale I'll be calling him myself to get one for the recon RS2 I got.

Thanks for your help

When the RO 90 first came to North America, it included very generous abrasive packs in both configurations. For quite some time now, it has only had one sheet of Granat in each configuration.

One area where Festool sorely lacks... 2 pieces of paper isn't a 'pack' and it's not even a sample since there's only the one kind of the one grit. At best, it's 'starter paper.' Just enough to be able to make sure the device works. Maybe they should call it 'Proof of Function Abrasive.' (POFA) that's all it is. Suppose the bosses tissue is they advertise a pack, show a picture that should get you started, but I could not find any place where it actually laid out what was in the box.
